Engineering notes

A few things we always check — and what code references we follow.

Pier depth is sized to resist overturning moment from the design wind on the exposed sign face plus pole.

Anchor bolt patterns are detailed for the chosen foundation type with embedment and edge distance per ACI 318.

Pole sizing follows AISC 360 for steel or ADM for aluminum.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about pylon & pole signs and engineering.

What heights can you engineer pylon signs for?+

We regularly engineer pylon signs from 8 ft up to 50+ ft. Taller installations are handled on a case-by-case basis with additional wind and foundation considerations.

Do you design the foundation?+

Yes. Every pylon sign package includes a foundation design — either pier/caisson or spread footing — sized for your soil conditions and wind zone.

Can you verify an existing pole for a new cabinet?+

Yes. Send us photos and any prior drawings of the existing pole and base, and we'll analyze whether it can support the new cabinet or if reinforcement is needed.

What pole materials do you design with?+

We design in steel or aluminum, round or square tube, or I-beam configurations depending on the project requirements and local code.
